Boston Legacy FC fans, are you ready?! We are just days away from the very first Legacy match and its the home opener as well. We are so excited to see the team take the field for the first time and to hopefully meet some of you Swan Dive listeners as well.

On that note, we bring you our very first NWSL match preview! This week Andy and Courtney are joined by first time Swan Dive guest Brooks, as well as Soccer Over Gotham podcast host and producer Gary Gibson to briefly chat about the Legacy away kits and kit launch party but then all focus turns to Gotham vs Boston for match week 1. We take a look at this year's Gotham team, Gary provides some of his thoughts on the Legacy as a non-supporter and the team gives their thoughts on what the very first Boston Legacy match (against the defending champions, no less) might bring. We also have some exciting podcast news to share.

We also have some predictions. Here at the Swan Dive, we are making a little game out of match predictions where points are assigned based on how correct and how incorrect we are. Andy and Courtney will make predictions before every match and track them throughout the season. We will also ask our guests to make predictions and have an overall guest score at the end of the season as well.

Week 1 Predictions:

  • Andy: 4-2 Gotham
  • Courtney: 2-1 Gotham
  • Brooks: 2-2 draw
  • Gary: 1-0 Gotham

Don't get us wrong, the three Legacy fans would LOVE for them to win, of course, but its the first game and we are trying to be as objective as possible

As always, we want to hear from you. You can find us as always at blfcswandive@gmail.com and at bluesky at blfcswandive so please hit us up!
